4.4 Battery Condition
When the TensionRite® Belt Frequency Meter is irst switched on, a
battery condition check is automatically performed. A low battery
condition is signaled both visually and audibly. The display window
will lash an array of zeros, starting with four and progressing
to only one. There will be an audible signal of four beeps as the
display changes.
If these signals are seen and heard, batteries should be replaced.
Batteries are accessed through the removable cover on the
back of meter. New batteries should be inserted within 30
seconds of removal of old batteries. Taking longer risks loss of
any data stored by the memory keys.Batteries are expected to
provide approximately 20 hours of continuous operation before
replacement is required.
Dispose of old batteries in an environmentally sensitive manner
as prescribed by the battery manufacturer. In no case should
batteries be disposed of in an open lame.
IMPORTANT
Do not charge batteries with the sensor head attached to the
meter. Do not attempt to use the meter while batteries are being
charged. Damage to the optical sensor could result.
The TensionRite® Belt Frequency Meter is compatible with
user-supplied rechargeable batteries and recharging unit. A
convenient 3.5mm, positive center charging socket is located on
the bottom end of the meter body adjacent to the sensor cable
plug-in port.
Batteries – 1300 mAH minimum (user supplied)
Charging unit – 12 to 15 volt DC output (user supplied)
Connection – 3.55mm O.D. positive tip mini plug/socket
The built-in circuit of the meter controls the charging current,
automatically providing a fast and a trickle charge. Charging
current is internally limited to 100 mA. Charging time is typically
1214 hours for a full charge.
You may turn the unit on while charging. The meter’s software
will then signal that the batteries are charging. The display window
will lash an array of zeros, starting with only one and progressing
to four. There will be an audible signal of four beeps as the
display changes.
Alternatively, a separate battery charging station may be utilized.
Using two sets of batteries, one set in use with the meter, the other
set in the charging station, would ensure freshly charged batteries
were always available. Again, batteries should have a minimum
rating of 1300 mAH.
